India to take a call on Indo-Pak talks after PM-EAM meet

NEW DELHI: India will take a call on going ahead with the Foreign Secretary-level talks with Pakistan after tonight’s meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj.

“The decision(on FS talks) will be taken after the meeting,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Vikas Swarup told reporters tonight after Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar met Swaraj.

The hectic consultations followed the detention of JeM chief Maulana Masood Azhar and “several individuals” of his terror outfit suspected to be behind the Pathankot attack on January 2.

However, Swarup said there has been no official confirmation of the “arrest” of Azhar. (AGENCIES)
